Halloween: The Game stats: what each one does

Every civilian carries four numbers out of 10. IllFonic has said what each of them governs, in one sentence apiece. It has never said what a point is worth, and that second half matters as much as the first.

The short answer

  • Capability melee weapons and thrown items.
  • Athleticism speed on foot and by bike.
  • Personality convincing residents, calling police, followers, Fear and Stalk resistance.
  • Resourcefulness repairs, awareness, vehicles and firearms.

That is a summary. The exact wording is below, from IllFonic’s Progression & Customization Overview (September 2, 2026).

The four stats in IllFonic’s words

Capability

Capability represents a Civilian's overall vigor and prowess when wielding melee weapons or throwable household items.
Highest
8 Laurie Strode
Lowest
2 Alexis

Personality

Personality affects a Civilian's ability to convince residents, alert the authorities, and command additional followers, as well as determine their Fear and Stalk resistances.
Highest
10 Tanya Harrison, Alexis
Lowest
2 Rachel Callahan

Every civilian’s stats side by side

The 7 civilians whose numbers the character-select screen shows. The other 5 keep their stats hidden until they are unlocked, so they are not listed here rather than guessed at. The highest value in each column is marked.

Athleticism and stamina

Athleticism is the one stat a patch has named directly. The notes split stamina behaviour by Athleticism level, which confirms the stat feeds stamina as well as speed, though still without a figure for any of it.

Stamina — Athleticism levels 1–4 · Day One Patch 1.0.1

  • Exhausted Duration has been decreased, allowing Civilians with lower Athleticism to recover from the Exhausted state faster.
  • The delay before stamina begins regenerating has been decreased, ensuring quicker recovery between actions.
  • Stamina Regen Rate has been increased so Civilians with lower Athleticism recover stamina faster.

Stamina — Athleticism levels 6–10 · Day One Patch 1.0.1

  • Slightly reduced Max Stamina to maintain chase tension with Civilians with higher Athleticism.
  • Reduced Stamina Regen Rate of Civilians with higher Athleticism to balance player mobility.

What has never been published

A definition tells you where a stat applies. It does not tell you by how much. There is no official figure for how much faster a 10 in Athleticism runs than a 3, how much quicker a high Resourcefulness repairs, or how much Fear and Stalk a high Personality shrugs off.

That gap is why this site does not rank civilians by adding their stats. A total treats a point of Personality as equal to a point of Capability, and nothing published says it is. The tier list explains how it ranks without doing that, and the character list shows each civilian’s traits, which often matter more than a one-point difference.

Questions

What does Capability do in Halloween: The Game?
Capability represents a Civilian's overall vigor and prowess when wielding melee weapons or throwable household items. That is IllFonic's own description. The highest value among the civilians whose stats are visible is 8 (Laurie Strode); the lowest is 2.
What does Athleticism do in Halloween: The Game?
Athleticism determines how quickly and efficiently a Civilian moves through Haddonfield on foot or by bike. That is IllFonic's own description. The highest value among the civilians whose stats are visible is 8 (Alexis); the lowest is 3.
What does Personality do in Halloween: The Game?
Personality affects a Civilian's ability to convince residents, alert the authorities, and command additional followers, as well as determine their Fear and Stalk resistances. That is IllFonic's own description. The highest value among the civilians whose stats are visible is 10 (Tanya Harrison and Alexis); the lowest is 2.
What does Resourcefulness do in Halloween: The Game?
Resourcefulness determines a Civilian's repair expertise, environmental awareness, and competence when operating motor vehicles or firearms. That is IllFonic's own description. The highest value among the civilians whose stats are visible is 10 (Marcus Navarro); the lowest is 5.
How much does one point of a stat change?
No public source gives per-point values. The official post says what each stat governs but gives no numbers, so there is no published way to say that a 10 in Personality is worth more or less than a 10 in Athleticism.
Can you add the four stats together to find the best civilian?
Not honestly. Adding them assumes a point of every stat is worth the same, and nothing IllFonic has published supports that. The stats tell you what a civilian is good at, not how good that is overall.
